NEW DELHI: Australia's premier batsman, Steve Smith, has openly acknowledged the challenges he faces as an opener in Test cricket but remains resolute in his determination to overcome them after enduring a rough patch since assuming the role.
Smith, who took on the opening position following David Warner's retirement from Tests, has encountered difficulties in the transition, deviating from Australia's longstanding practice of fielding specialist openers such as Cameron Bancroft, Matthew Renshaw, and Marcus Harris.
